Texture

Texture is a toolset designed for the production of scientific content. It uses the Dar Format, which defines a stricter form of the JATS Archiving and Interchange Tag Set ("green" v. 1.1) XML standard.

Roadmap

Texture is still in a beta stage: there are likely to be missing features, bugs and API changes. But we would ❤️ to get your suggestions and 🐛 reports.
